Underground

The Pool of the Arches is an underground pool for storing water that was built by order of the caliph H?r?n al-Rash?d and was inaugurated in May of 789 CE. The pool is part of a system of pools and reservoirs whose water was supplied by an aqueduct, which conveyed it from the springs located at the foot of Tel Gezer. The pool was the largest building project in the Land of Israel undertaken by the Abbasid dynasty.
